Nissan's Pricey Z Nismo Offers Only Minor Upgrades Over Standard Model, Still Lacks Manual Transmission

Nissan's new Z Nismo gets a slight bump in power and upgraded suspension, but still lacks a manual transmission.
The Z Nismo is very expensive at over $66,000 and doesn't offer much over the standard Z Performance model.
The lack of a manual transmission hurts the Z Nismo's driving experience for enthusiasts.
The ride is very stiff and busy, less comfortable for daily driving.
More compelling options like the Mustang Dark Horse and Toyota Supra offer similar performance for less money.
